'l0 ALL WHOM IT MAY OONOERN:

B e it known that we, WILLIAM WAY, SAMUEL B. WAY, und SAMUEL O. Pommoy, of South Butler, in the county of Wayne, ancl Starte of New York, lmv e invented new ancl usefi1l Improvement in Dish Washers; Emil wo de hereby declnre that the following is a full, elear, am]. exaet deseription thereof, whieh will onable thosa -skilled in the art 1:0 make and use the same, reference being hnd to the accompanying drawingsfforming part of this s-pecifiention, in whieh I Figure 1 is a verti cal longitudinal section taken in the line x :t in fig. 2.

Figure 2 is a. vertical transverse seetion taken in the line y y in fig. 1.

This inventien relates to certnin new nn l usefnl improvenent s in dishwashing machinewhereby a, very eflici enfiand clesirable maehine is produeed, ns hereinnftei explained.

In the aeeompanying (lrmvings, A is a wooden box er frame, mounted on legs, und haviug a. hinged cover, a. This box has a sheet-metal lining, B, whieh fornhs the Washing vessel proper, a.s tlxe w oodefibox in itself hns no bottcm. Tl1e metallie vesscl B in general form l1as a round bottom, zus seen in fig. 2, hat; this bottom lms a. depression, (C, fig. 2,) in it-s eentre, running longitndinally the w hole liength of the vessel, 3Dd in crossseetibn, cf asemicircular form. In this depression C lies thebeating or wnshing-wheel D. The wheel D is compo'sed of four long narrow wings, d, whiol1 have a eon eave 01' scoop form, as seen in fig. 2., und lo'ngitudinally, are disposed' spirally around the cencre ol slmfi: of the wheel,- us sllown in fig. 1. The wheel D is hold in placc in s'uch manner as to be removable for elenning. Onc end of its slmft has a square coupling soeket, e, fig. 1,) whieh engages with a squnrexaded encl seetionf of the shnft, und this sectionfhns n neek or groove,g whlc h receives u. pin, h, for holding it engaged with soeket c, so that by withdmwing pin h the sha.f'tf.may be drawn back und disengagenlfrom soeket e, andtho washing-wheel D is fallen free 150 be faken from .tl1c maehinc. Motion is given t0 tl1e Wl1eel D by ba1icl-wheels I z anti crank K is g1 wire rack for holding the dishes, and is removable, it being reinoved always hefore the wheel D ean be tak'en mit. The npper edges of tl1e meia'llic lining B ar'e liurned inwarcl horizontally, so as to form n '15rojecting ledge 01 lip, b b, und this ledge prevcnts Walzer from being thrown out throngli tl1e joinl: between tl1e COVG1 a anil box A, wl1en the machine is in operationi 'll1e e lges of the Cover a are bevelled se tlxut if the Cover is swellexl l jy moisture it cnnnotjnm in il:s saut, und will alwnys open frcely. For emptying the vessel a waste-eponingp, is made in its bottom, und i3 covered by a. ga-te, M, swinging horizontally. 'lhis gute is f:istened nt dne en l by ajivot, n, (fig. 1,) und lms n handle, m. 'lho end of tl1e gute oppogite to pivot n is lleld up sang against the vessel by a rast, 0, an wlxich' tha.t end of tl1e gnte slidcs when moved for epening or closing( By the use of tl1e eoncnire-shaperl wings or buekets, the tendeney is for the Win1gs t0 hold on to the rrater w ithin their grnsp' until it has considerable rotative velocity, so tl1at when the water does escnpc fronj1 the grasp 0f the \vingS it is thrown with greater force amo ngst fihe dlshes. 'lhe spiral mlangement of the wings. is intonded to give tl1e water, wlxen thrown, a. movement nlore 01' less townrcl one end of the machine, so tl1nt when plates nre t0 be wasllel thoy ure placed an edge in the 'lael; with tl1eir clirty faces to\val'd the opposil;e end cf the machine, (und a. better result is thus obtained. By uso 0f the dcpression'C, the maeh'me Werks eq ually well witlx :1 less quantity of water tlmn would otherwise be neeessnry Having thus clescribednur ixivention, what \ve elnim EIS neu, und desire to seenre by Letters lzrtent, iS-' Th'e depressien G; in the bottom of vessel B, for collccting all the '-l30l in the mnelxine immediabely about n wheel, D, Which is in diamet-er considerably sma.ller tlnm the dinmeter of the main ehamber B, substantially in t'he manner und for the purpose set forth.
